Xian Mei Works God Gambles Crazy After God Gambles Crazy After God Gambles Crazy Volume 4 ◆ Feng Lin Yu Kong VS Qian Long Fei Yuan ◆ 077 Wind Flower Conference ◆ Wan Geng

  Time flies like an arrow, and youth is secretly replaced by the wind. When the lotus flowers in the full lake bloom overnight, the grand meeting of elegance also opens its curtain.

  In the imperial palace, news of the Empress Dowager's serious illness spread like wildfire. Even the Wind and Flower Banquet was arranged by the Empress Dowager herself. The various princes learned about the Empress Dowager's true condition through their respective channels, and when they received confirmation, they all secretly rejoiced, thinking that their chance had finally arrived.

  "Drive—"

  One by one, magnificent carriages, carrying talented women from various countries, gathered in the imperial palace.

  Due to the large number of people, the Fenghua Conference was not held in the palace, but at Feixue Qionghua Pavilion, which is not far from the Jiuchong Gate.

  The Flying Snow Pavilion, made of white marble, is carved with intertwined peony patterns and adorned with glittering golden phoenixes amidst a hundred birds, shining dazzlingly in the sunlight.

  A clear stream flows from the depths of the Imperial Garden, winding its way past the Flying Snow and Frosty Jade Platform. White stone railings, a profusion of flowers twinkling like stars - all this made the eyes of the talented women who had been summoned to the palace for the grand assembly shine brightly as they yearned for the golden splendor within the imperial palace.

  "White family's young lady, Bai Yulan has arrived!"

  "Miss Huajia, Hualei has arrived!"

  "The Cloud and Fog Empire's Princess Yunfeng Arrives!"

  “……”

  When everyone heard Princess Meng's name, they all stopped discussing at the same time, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

  The most favored Dream Princess of the Empire of Clouds and Mist, Zi Ling Xuan, is a legendary woman. It's said that although she was born into the imperial family, her surname isn't that of the royal family, but rather follows her mother's surname, Zi.

  Since she was young, her body has been weak, so she was sent to a temple to receive the Buddha's light and became sacred like an immortal.

  In Yunmeng Imperial Dynasty, she was the most favored sister of Emperor Yunmeng and a renowned talented woman, many people in the court had heard her name.

  "Isn't Zilan Xuan just Tian Nu Zi Xue's younger sister?"

  Hua Lengtian widened her eyes and stared at the woman who was being supported as she got down from the horse carriage.

  That was a lively woman, she wore a snow-white gauze skirt embroidered with silver flowers, a light blue silk ribbon around her waist, two simple pearl pendants hanging from the ribbon, slowly falling down. The snow-white silk wrapped around her arm, even more set off her ethereal spirit.

  Soft black hair, coiled into a circular bun at the back of the head, adorned with snow-white feathered butterfly silk. Strings of snowflake-like pendants fell from the snow-white feathered butterfly silk. A milky white pearl hairpin wound its way around the bun, looking exceptionally beautiful.

  Her face was veiled, making it impossible to discern her features.

  Under everyone's gaze, she just glanced at them lightly and walked alone to the flower tree on the side, sat down quietly, and didn't talk to anyone.

  The swallows chattered and flitted about, each sitting on the stone chairs at the edge of the imperial garden to discuss. Whether acquaintances or strangers, all gathered together here.

  Among the three major empires, talented women all want to make a name for themselves at the Wind and Flower Conference, to gain fame throughout the land, to bring honor to their families, and to increase their own value, so as to find a satisfactory husband.

  The Empress Dowager and Princess Duanming sat high above, with a look of triumph on their faces. Because the Grand Empress Dowager was seriously ill and Fengyu Xue was not in the palace, they regarded themselves as the masters of the harem.

  "So this is the Dream Princess! She's nothing special after all!"

  Bai Yulan saw that she was ignoring everyone and couldn't help but think to herself.

  "I wonder what she looks like? She should look pretty good!"

  Hua Lengchun would occasionally glance at Zi Ling, wanting to get a clear look at her appearance.

  "Wearing a veil must be very ugly and dare not see people, just like that fool! By the way, does anyone of you know what the prize for this Wind Flower Conference is?"

  Bai Yulan's gentle voice, with a hint of arrogance, fell. She had just heard from the Empress Dowager that the prize for this Wind and Flower Assembly was very attractive, so she specially rode on the White Family Elder's mystical beast, hurrying back day and night.

  "What is it?"

  Huā Lěng Xīn looked at Bái Yù Lán with curiosity, and Huā Lěng Dié on the side also looked over.

  "What you're going to hear will drive you crazy!"

  Bai Yulan said mysteriously, her face full of determination.

  "What is it after all? Sister Yulan, don't be mysterious, we know you have good connections in the palace, just reveal a little to us!"

  Huā Lěng Tiě asked with a naive expression, and Sā Jiāo replied.

  "This time, the champion of the Wind Flower Conference is a Spirit Grass!"

  Bai Yulan revealed the news of Xiao Dao without feeling threatened by the two silly girls in front of her, and even if she told them, it wouldn't be a big deal.

  "What's so surprising about Ling Cao?"

  Hua Lengxian pouted and thought that this colorful headdress was not as attractive as gold and silver jewelry.

  "You're really ignorant, this spiritual grass isn't an ordinary thing. I heard Aunt say that it's the Blood Jade Red Lotus from the Banhai Anlei Cliff, which has a beauty-preserving effect. If you take the Blood Jade Red Lotus, your youthful appearance will be preserved forever."

  Bai Yulan held her face, excitedly saying, with a red glow all over her face, as if that blood-red lotus was already hers.

  "Wow! What a beauty!"

  The women around who heard their conversation were all excited, the forever young and beautiful face had a great attraction to them.

  "The Moon King has arrived!"

  "The General has arrived!"

  "White Prime Minister has arrived!"

  “……”

  Several princes appeared, and a commotion in the crowd made the atmosphere even more intense.

  "That's the Moon King, he's truly a dragon among men!"

  "Yes, it really looks great!"

  "Entering the Moon King's household is a dream come true for women in the Tianyao Imperial Court!"

  "I heard that Xue Fei was originally engaged to Yue Wangye, but he looked down on her and in the end she still only married a fool."

  "Marrying an idiot, that woman will surely cry herself to death!"

  "Yes, if it were me, I'd rather die than get married..."

  “……”

  All the officials and princes arrived one after another, each taking their seats. Meng Yue's emotions were stirred as she followed Mo Chang Ge, her face filled with anticipation, thinking that she would soon see her second brother again, a smile bursting forth on her face.

  Her expectant and eager appearance turned into a cold sneer in Mo Chang Ge's eyes.

  "I wonder which young lady will win the reputation of being the number one talented woman in the world today!"

  The Second Prince gazed at each and every one of the lovely young women with a dazed expression, his eyes shining brightly.

  "I heard that the young lady from the Bai family is exceptionally talented in playing the zither. This time, it's almost certain she'll get the top spot!"

  The tenth king's face showed a few points of arrogance, these mediocre women he couldn't look up to, after today is over and the power is in his hands, what kind of beauty doesn't he have!

  "Hehe, Your Highness is overpraising me. I'm just a young girl with limited knowledge and shallow learning, afraid that I'll lose face!"

  The white prime minister's face was smiling like a chrysanthemum blooming, but his words were insincere.

  "This time neither Miss Feng nor Miss Su came, how strange!"

  "Maybe something urgent came up!"

  Due to the large number of people today, the Empress Dowager transferred some palace maids from Yunshang Palace to help. The palace maid Bi Lu and Bi Tai held wine pots in their hands, one by one refilling the wine cups for the various kings.

  "The Cloud Dream Emperor Arrives"

  As a magnificent dragon carriage appeared, all the officials and ministers, even the empress dowager herself, stood up to welcome the arrival of Emperor Yunmeng.

  The Tianyao Empire and the Yunmeng Empire, although they are in a hostile relationship, have not yet torn their faces apart, so superficial courtesy still needs to be maintained. No one expected that Emperor Yunmeng would come in person. Although the Fenghua Conference is a grand event that attracts worldwide attention, it has attracted the busy Emperor Yunmeng of Yunmeng, making many women overjoyed beyond expectation.

  This time, Yun Meng Emperor's sister, Zi Ling Xuan, also arrived at Tianyao Imperial Court. It is said that Yun Meng Emperor dotes on his sister, and it seems that she would only come to the enemy country because of her.

  As for the Lianwu Empire, they rarely contact with the outside world, so even at the Fenghua Conference, they are also very low-key.

  "See Yun Meng Emperor!"

  The sound of mountains and seas, echoed in the imperial palace, making everyone involuntarily extremely curious about this famous Yun Meng Emperor.

  "No need for formalities!"

  Meng Junlin sat in the dragon carriage, not going out, separated by the golden bead curtain, sizing up the crowd, wanting to find that figure he had been thinking about day and night.

  Unfortunately, after a rough glance, he didn't find the person he was looking for and couldn't help but feel some disappointment.

  "Lao Wu, Yun Meng Da Di has arrived, what about our plan..."

  Mo Chang Ge's face was slightly solemn as he leaned in close and asked in a low voice.

  "Don't worry about it, everything is going according to plan!"

  Mo Chang Ge put down the wine jug in his hand, and a fierce desire to burn was revealed in his eyes. He had been waiting for this day for too long, and no one could stop him!

  "Alright, then I'll go give the order to start the plan!"

  Mo Shu saw his resolute expression in the city and sent a trusted envoy to initiate the plan.

  When the signal was given, the troops lying in ambush outside the palace all sprang into action.

  "The grand assembly of Wind and Flower has begun, please have each young lady ascend to the Flying Snow Pavilion to compete in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. The hundred officials, kings, and Emperor Yunmeng will serve as judges for this occasion, selecting the most talented woman."

  After the empress dowager's words fell, each of the young ladies from the noble families took their turn, presenting their talents one by one in order.

  "First round, painting! Paint a scene of the Imperial Garden!"

  Yun Shang Gong's Yun Gu has a high prestige in the palace, so this time she is in charge of announcing the content of the trial. She looked at everyone who was ready and began to announce.

  "In each round, the most outstanding woman is selected. If two people are evenly matched, they will continue to compete until a winner is determined!"

  The Fenghua Conference has no second place, only the first in the world. All women are competing for this first place.

  After Yun Gu's words fell, everyone made every effort to do their best and strive for the title of the world's number one talented woman that all women in the world envied.

  Because it was a painting competition, several groups of people competed together.

  Bai Yulan's face showed a confident smile, holding a brush in her hand, she started painting. In addition to her musical talents, her painting skills were also excellent. Moreover, she had already known the order of the competition, so she was not nervous.

  Princess Zilan began to draw seriously, her face without a hint of fear. She had long been accustomed to such scenes and naturally wouldn't feel any tension.

  Huā Lěng Tiě was eliminated because of her nervousness, which caused a smudge on her painting paper.

  The number of people decreased slightly, and everyone held their breath as they painted, afraid of making a single mistake. This painting was the first round, and for women with a foundation in painting, it was indeed a great advantage.

  Some women who are not good at painting have a worried and unhappy expression.

  Unfortunately, the order of the trial was decided by the Empress Dowager, and they could only remain silent even if they felt it was unfair.

  The faces of several princes also showed a tense expression, and behind the tension was an inexplicable excitement. The palace inside and out was a scene of surging gunpowder smoke, just a silent and soundless great war unfolding quietly.

  A warm yellow sunlight falls from the corner tower's coral long window, with wind chimes hanging from the tip of the pagoda, set against a deep blue sky, as if to hook down that fiery red sun.

  The gentle breeze is moist, the layered forest is all green, and the pavilions and buildings built by the water are magnificent and resplendent.

  A figure in a red dress, more resplendent than fire, leaned against the corner window of the Proud Snow Palace, gazing out at the vast imperial palace. The distant sky was vast and remote, with clouds scattered about, years passing silently, ancient and unspoken. The sun and moon reflected on Mirror Lake, the water turned a deep blue, like a beautiful and ethereal dream, reflecting a gentle smile, forever hidden in the depths of her heart, as if she had never left.

  In the midst of the bustling grandeur of the imperial palace, he had no interest whatsoever. Now, all he could think about was when Feng Mian Xue would return, and having heard that Feng Qi Liu was injured, they slowed down the pace of their journey back.

  When he heard the news, he almost had an impulse to let Jingyue, who was following Feng Yuxue, directly strangle that little boy Feng Qiuli and bring back a corpse, which would definitely be faster than bringing back the wounded.

  "The young master, they've made their move!"

  Appearing silently beside Mo Yanhua, he spoke with an expressionless face.

  "Oh..."

  Mo Yanhua heard that someone was going to usurp his throne, but his reaction was just a calm and composed interjection, without even raising an eyebrow, his gaze still calmly looking into the distance.

  Seeing him like that in the wind, I couldn't help but admire his state of mind. When others are about to step on his head, he is still so calm!

  It seems that even if a mountain collapses in front of him, he won't have a single ripple.

  He's indeed a young master! This composure! This domineering air!

  "Anything else?"

  Moyan Hua saw that Suifeng was still there and hadn't left, affecting his solitary mood. He couldn't help but speak in a slightly displeased tone, slowly saying:

  "Miss Meixue has gone outside the city! At this time, she should have already entered the city and headed to the imperial palace. If the young master is not interested, then let her retreat with the wind!"

  Heard his impatient voice with the wind, and said with a bad taste in his mouth.

  "Hmm——"

  The originally languidly leaning against the window's edge Mo Yan Hua, upon hearing his words, lost her balance and directly fell down in a completely ungraceful manner.

  However, he didn't care about his own embarrassment at all, and directly grabbed the collar of Fengfeng, with a look of extreme joy on his handsome face, not daring to believe what he had just heard.

  "You said Snowy will arrive at the palace soon, right?"

  "Prince, let go of my collar first! If you keep holding onto me, Miss Meixue might have already entered the palace!"

  The paralyzed face of the wind revealed a hint of speechlessness, looking at the young master's lost demeanor, where was his previous calmness and composure? He decided to take back his previous admiration and respect for him!

  "Hmm——"

  Moyan Hua directly threw it out with a flick of her wrist, and the object was blown away by the wind towards the outside. In an instant, it had vanished above the corner tower.

  The wind that was thrown out of the window wiped a cold sweat, fortunately he had the ability to hover in the air, otherwise he would have been tortured to death by the young master!

  "Xueqiang, does my clothes look messy?"

  Mo Yan hurriedly changed into a new set of clothes, stood in front of the mirror, and revealed a smile that could overturn the world. Her hair was styled in an extremely handsome shape, with every detail perfectly dressed up.

  "Master, you already look great even without dressing up. Let's hurry and welcome the young lady, or we'll be late!"

  After receiving the news of Feng Mian Xue's return, Qing Ying, Xue Zhang, Liu Li and Qian Cao were immediately brought into the palace by Mo Yan Hua. Now that they heard Feng Mian Xue was about to arrive outside the palace, their faces all showed joyful expressions.

  "Let's go!"

  Mo Yanhua put on the mask and then rode in a sedan chair towards the outside of the palace gate. The palace maids of the Ao Xue Palace followed closely behind her.

  "This round, both Bai Jie and Meng Gongzhu performed exceptionally well, and both are eligible to enter the next round of competition."

  The empress dowager spoke up and looked at Bai Yulan with satisfaction.

  "Thank you, Empress Dowager!"

  Bai Yulan's face showed joy, and she didn't have much suspense about her own victory.

  Zi Ling Xian stood quietly to the side, her face veiled, with no particularly joyful expression. This time she came to Tianyao Imperial Dynasty, only for one person.

  She hopes to make her name known to him through the Wind Flower Conference.

  Unfortunately, she didn't know if there was a chance for him to hear it.

  "The Emperor has arrived!"

  The people who were holding a grand meeting nearby cast their eyes over there due to the sudden arrival of Emperor Tian Ce.

  "See the Emperor!"

  Restricted by etiquette, everyone hurriedly stopped and bowed to Emperor Tian Ce.

  But Mo Yan Hua didn't have the heart to deal with them at this moment, so he waved his hand and ordered someone to lay out a thousand-foot-long red carpet from outside the palace all the way to the Ao Xue Palace. He himself went to wait at the gate for Feng Miao Xue's return.

  Xue Qing and several others followed closely behind, their eyes shining with sparkling light.

  "What is Your Majesty going to do?"

  "I have no idea what he's thinking, it's beyond our comprehension!"

  "That person is Tian Ce Emperor, doesn't look stupid at all! That back view is quite handsome!"

  "Really! I wonder what's under that mask!"

  The women began discussing in low voices. The Dream Princess of the Dusk Empire, Zi Ling Xuan, also cast her gaze on Mo Yan Hua, feeling that she had seen him before.

  "Huh? Isn't that Second Brother?"

  Meng Yue Qing'er saw the back of Mo Yan Hua and her face revealed a shocked expression. The person's back was clearly that of Second Master, but he had never seen Second Master wear clothes of this color before.

  "Qing'er, are you saying he's your second senior brother? That man wearing a mask?"

  Mang Chang's song shocked his heart, and he hastily asked, stretching out his hand to grab Mengyue Qing'er, with a terrifying ferocity in his expression.

  "That figure from behind looks a bit like him, but I'm also not sure! After all, my Second Master always wears white clothes and doesn't like wearing red clothes!"

  Meng Yue Qing'er saw his terrifying expression and also said uncertainly.

  "This cunning fox!"

  The tea cup in the stranger's hand was crushed by him, and looking at the familiar figure of Mo Yanhua, he felt a sense of anger. He had been deceived for so many years, this Mo Changge was actually Mo Yanhua, and he could really pretend!

  No wonder for so many years, several brothers have used all sorts of methods but haven't been able to get rid of this fool, instead they've been played around by him.

  He's really good at it!

  Fortunately, he made thorough preparations, and even if Yanhua Gongzi was involved, he could still win with ease!

  "Aren't you close with Second Master? Can't you see his physique?"

  Meng Yue's eyes were filled with a hint of confusion as she gazed at Mo Chang Ge's unpleasant expression, and her heart felt a sense of unease, as if she had stepped into a whirlpool.

  "Qing'er doesn't know this, but although Yan Hua is very close to me, we don't actually spend a lot of time together. If he wears a mask, I'd have a hard time recognizing him too!"

  Mo Chang Ge regained his gentle demeanor and softly comforted her. If he hadn't seen that she still had some use, he wouldn't have given her a good face!

  "The Snow Queen Returns to the Palace"

  As the sound of horseshoes echoed, Xiao Shunzi's voice rose high and long. Everyone's gaze fell on the palace gate, stretching their necks to catch a glimpse of Princess Xue's appearance!

  The Empress Dowager and Princess Duanming heard that Feng Mianxue had returned to the palace, both of their faces looked very unpleasant. Along the way, they had clearly sent out many assassins, wanting to make it so that Feng Mianxue would never return, but now it seemed that those assassins were completely useless, and she was still alive!

  "Thud thud thud——"

  Golden sunlight fell on Feng Meixue's refreshing and elegant body, illuminating her absolutely beautiful face, as if the heavens themselves were calling out to make everyone feel ashamed of their own inferiority.

  With the fluttering flower rain, riding on the wind, drifting from the direction of the imperial garden, the air was dyed with a touch of sweet fragrance.

  White plum blossom petals, cherry blossoms fluttering down, Feng Mei Xue recognized that they were the unique flower petals from an ancient plum tree in the Imperial Garden.

  She raised her eyes to look forward, and on her pale and flawless face, a faint shadow was cast by the dense eyelashes. Her curved eyebrows were like distant mountains in the mist, and her bright and sparkling eyes stared motionlessly at the figure of Mo Yanhua.

  The morning breeze on a summer day was like a lover's gentle whisper, blowing across her ears and lifting a strand of her hair.

  Her figure was slender and elegant, with straight and soft hair, a silver-purple long dress, a long purple silk ribbon, lightly floating like a cloud. The golden sunlight flowed over her body, dissolving and overflowing with color, splashing out an otherworldly beauty.

  She dismounted the horse with a nimble leap, her sweet and enchanting smile spreading from the corners of her lips like the soft spring breeze in a peach blossom forest in March, leaving everyone stunned and their souls seemingly heavily struck, making it unforgettable for all eternity.

  A thousand yards of red brocade, two people standing facing each other, gazing into each other's eyes, as if in the world there was only that one pair of loving people.

  "I'm back!"

  A sweet voice, like a melodious song, filled the empty heart of Mo Yan Hua, bringing an unspeakable sense of comfort and satisfaction.

  Mo Yan stepped forward a few big steps and wrapped her in his arms, his strong arms seeming to want to merge her into his own body.

  "Don't hold on so tight!"

  Phoenix's face was rosy with joy, her heart filled with the happiness of a long-awaited reunion, and she didn't push him away.

  "Did I hurt you?"

  Moyan Hua hurriedly relaxed her arm and asked urgently in her ear.

  "No!"

  Feng Mei Xue's face was radiant with happiness and joy, all her fatigue and exhaustion disappeared in his arms.

  When I saw Feng Mianxue smiling and being held in Mo Yanhua's arms, my heart shattered into pieces.

  All the men revealed a hateful gaze, like a sharp knife, towards Mo Yanhua. If eyes could kill, then Mo Yanhua had already been killed several times.

  The strongest hostility came from Mo Chang Ge and Long Chen's Meng Jun Lin. When he saw Feng Xiao Xue, Meng Jun Lin's face showed shock, astonishment, excitement, joy, and finally anger and jealousy when he saw her being hugged by Mo Yan Hua.

  The person he had been searching for so long was actually her!

  It was originally said that Emperor Fool married Miss Feng's fourth daughter, he just smiled and treated it as a joke.

  However, how could he have expected that Feng Yuxue was the very woman who had been on his mind day and night?

  They met again, but under such circumstances. The wine jug in his hand also fell on the case at this moment, but he didn't notice it at all.

  "Second Master! How can he hold that cheap woman!"

  Meng Yue's expression immediately twisted, jealousy's flame burning her heart to ashes as she saw Mo Yan Hua embracing Feng Mei Xue.

  The golden bell-shaped wrist chain on her wrist rang out due to her emotional fluctuations, proving that she was furious.

  "Oh my, isn't this the renowned Snow Queen? I've long heard that Snow Queen is incredibly talented, providing strategic advice to the imperial court and earning the deep respect of the people. If Snow Queen doesn't show her face at today's grand assembly, it would be a disappointment!"

  Bai Yulan coldly said that when Feng Xue appeared, she would take away the souls of all men, and she hated it so much that her teeth ached.

  But thinking that she had only married a fool, she felt much more at ease in her heart. Even if she looked good, wasn't it a waste to be with a fool? What's the big deal!

  "You're overpraising me! I'm afraid I don't deserve your compliments!"

  Feng Mei Xue turned around, holding onto Mo Yan Hua's arm, and in full view of everyone, walked up to the main seat, causing the Empress Dowager's face to turn dark.

  "Is Princess Snow not willing to bring glory to the empire? Or is Princess Snow just a fake, deceiving the world and stealing fame?"

  Bai Yulan said with a sneer, she had seen Feng Mianxue last time in Yunshang Palace, and all she could do was perform some tricks, this time let's see how she would humiliate herself.

  She gave a glance at Empress Dowager and Princess Duanming, both of whom smiled knowingly upon seeing her expression.

  "Yulan is right, this time the talented women from various countries have gathered. Since Meixue has talent, why must she hide and be timid? Do you want our Tianyao Empire to be ridiculed by others?"

  The empress dowager spoke in a stern voice, her words were righteous and proper, but her attitude was extremely tough, and she pinned a great crime on Feng Mianxue over a small matter.

  "Who knows if rumors are credible or not? Snow Gui Fei is just a woman, don't expect her to have anything impressive! Why humiliate yourself?"

  Princess Duanming's words were like a slap in the face, and Feng Yuxue had no talent to show off. A burst of sarcastic laughter made all the ministers frown.

  Many officials hold Feng Yuxue in high esteem, especially this time, she bravely led the troops to Tianxuan City despite the danger. Now that they have received news that the crisis in Tianxuan City has been resolved, they all think it's thanks to Snow Concubine's efforts. Who would have thought that she had just returned from the border and was treated this way?

  "The Snow Queen has been traveling by boat and carriage for a long time, she is already tired, why must you force her to do what is difficult?"

  The General's face turned cold as he stepped on the moonlit floor, showing great dissatisfaction with Mo Manqiong's words.

  Everyone who heard his words also thought it was reasonable. Princess Xue had just returned, and even if she didn't participate in the Fenghua Conference, it wouldn't be a big deal.

  "Haha, it seems that no one else in our Tianyao Imperial Court can take down this time's prize, the Blood Jade Red Lotus. We can only rely on Little Girl's skills now!"

  Bai Chengxiang said with satisfaction, his face full of pride. Bai Yulan was the talented woman they had carefully cultivated, just to bring glory to their family, and he was very pleased with this daughter.

  "Oh? Is there still a surprise at this Wind Flower Conference?"

  Feng Mei Xue heard of Xue Yu Hong He and immediately became interested.

  "Isn't that so? Cai Tou is a Blood Jade Red Lotus that can retain one's youth, and even if Xue Fei wanted to, she wouldn't be able to get it! What a pity!"

  Bai Yulan said with a disappointed face, secretly wanting to infuriate Feng Mianxue. The originally gentle and elegant face also revealed an uncoordinated viciousness.

  Seeing her expression and listening to her words, Xue Zhang and several others were so angry that they stamped their feet.

  Mo Yanhua wanted to get up, but was pressed down by Feng Miao Xue. She slowly got up, step by step, and walked down, her face showing a smile that was hard to distinguish as joy or anger.

  "Hehe, since everyone is so enthusiastic, I won't disappoint anyone's expectations! But I wonder, how will this magnificent gathering compare in terms of splendor?"

  A clear and melodious voice, like a heavenly sound, fell from the sky, leaving everyone's mouth agape in astonishment, staring at Feng Mian Xue in disbelief.

  "If you want to humiliate yourself, don't blame others!"

  Bai Yulan sneered and walked over with her long skirt trailing behind her.

  "We have already competed in several rounds and the two with the best talents are none other than myself and Princess Meng! Snow Queen only needs to compete with us two in zither, chess, calligraphy and painting!"

  As soon as her words fell, everyone burst into an exclamation of surprise.

  "It's too difficult for Snow Queen to win compared with two great talents!"

  "Snow Princess is indeed clever and cunning, but I've never heard that she has any artistic skills!"

  "Alas, Snow Queen is likely to lose face in front of everyone this time!"

  "It's okay to lose to two great women, it's not too embarrassing! Everyone doesn't have to take it so seriously!"

  The ministers on the side sighed and said, obviously no one took care of Feng Mian Xue.

  Everyone had already witnessed the artistic talents of Bai Yulan and Zi Lingxuan in the previous painting test, so their reputations were well-known. Therefore, everyone naturally looked down on Feng Mianxue.

  And judging from Feng Mian Xue's evasive attitude earlier, everyone thought she was just pretending to be fat.

  Standing beside, Zileng Xuan couldn't help but stare at Mo Yanhua, and was slightly taken aback. But after thinking about it, this method of comparison didn't seem to be wrong either. The others had already been eliminated, and they couldn't compete again, so no one spoke up.

  "Start the second game! This game is a test of chess skills!"

  The cloud maiden announced the content of the trial in a calm and gentle voice that slowly fell down.

  "What? A game of chess! Not music?"

  Bai Yulan's face changed, originally she had clearly heard her aunt say that the second round was her best piano skill, but unexpectedly it was changed. She looked at the Empress Dowager with some incredulity, and even the Empress Dowager didn't know what happened.

  "This round is a test of chess skills. Here are three endgames, solving any one of them will allow you to enter the next round. You each choose one!"

  Yun Gu didn't catch the hint from the Empress Dowager and directly put Bai Yulan's weakest chess skill as the second game.

  "This Cloud Aunt is getting out of hand, she actually dared to change the order I arranged on her own, what a nerve!"

  The empress dowager was so angry that she coughed violently, thinking in her heart that after the funeral of the grand empress dowager, she would make Yun Gu accompany her to death.

  These chess games are very familiar to the people who study chess in the field, but when they see these few remaining games, they all shook their heads. Because even they, who consider themselves masters of chess, have no way to deal with these remaining games, let alone those few people.

  "Yun Gu is actually helping him out! This chess game has stumped everyone, and Feng Mian Xue wouldn't lose so badly!"

  Mang Chang Ge looked at several chess games and shook his head.

  "Please!"

  Feng Mei Xue directly chose a chessboard, glanced at the chess situation, pinched a chess piece with her fingers, and randomly changed its position. The original endgame suddenly changed, just one chess piece, like adding the final touches to a painting, changed the entire situation.

  "Crack——"

  The new wine cup of the singer fell to the ground in surprise. Looking at her slender fingers, she casually picked up a piece that had fallen, and he couldn't help but feel suddenly enlightened.

  He didn't think of moving this piece before, but now that he has made this move, he knows that Feng Mian Xue will definitely break through the chess situation.

  "Good!"

  Moyan Hua saw Fengmi Xue move that one, her eyes lit up, and a joyful color floated up. Seeing her win was even more delightful than his own victory.

  "Bang!"

  After Feng Mian Xue successfully cracked the chess situation, Princess Zi Ling Xuan also solved the chess situation.

  "You're amazing!"

  Her eyebrows were fine and long, black as ink, her eyes clear and bright, like you could see right through them. She gave Feng Mian Xue a faint glance, and couldn't help but feel a few threads of admiration for this woman who was so beautiful it didn't even make her jealous. This chessboard had been studied by her before in the Yun Meng Empire, she hadn't expected to run into it again this time.

  Long, snow-white silk, high and fluttering. Soft wind, stroking the purple silk skirt, added a bit of extraordinary and elegant atmosphere.

  Her gaze was without intense emotions, warm and soothing.

  "You're not bad either!"

  Feng Mei Xue smiled lightly and nodded towards Zi Ling. She felt that this woman was not unpleasant, unlike other women from noble families who were sharp and oppressive, but instead gave off a warm and gentle aura. This warmth was different from the deliberate gentleness shown by Bai Yu Lan, for she had an innate quietness about her.

  A wisp of incense wafted from her body, a unique aura that only those who had spent years wandering among temples possessed. Feng Xue remembered smelling a similar scent at the Temple of Buddhist Music on Xianjing Mountain.

  "This round, Snow Queen and Dream Princess are one step ahead!"

  Yun Gu looked at it and was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, but holding the chess piece and hesitating to put it down was Bai Yulan, who directly announced the result.

  "How can you eliminate me when I haven't even given birth yet?"

  Bai Yulan looked at Yun Gu with a look of utter despair, her face deathly pale, like a kite that had been blown away by the wind and rain, shattered and broken, crashing to the ground in pieces.

  "This is not a place for you to run wild!"

  Yun Gu's stern voice fell coldly, and immediately a palace maid pulled down Bai Yulan.

  "The third round will be a calligraphy competition, and as for what content to write, it's up to the two masters themselves to decide!"

  "Bring forth the brush, ink, paper and inkstone!"

  The best paper, exquisite brush, and good inkstone are all prepared.

  The palace maid had ground the ink well, and the two of them each picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote down their own characters.

  Watching this round of calligraphy competition, Mo Yanhua was not worried at all. He had seen Feng Mianxue's handwriting when reviewing memorials, and even he couldn't help but praise it.

  But in a short while, Feng Mianxue put down the brush in her hand, and everyone curiously looked over, wanting to see how her characters were.

  People always say that a person's character can be seen from their handwriting, and it is indeed possible to tell something about a person's personality from their writing!

  When the ink was dry, the palace maid unfolded the characters written by Feng Mi Xue and Zi Ling Xuan, and the white paper with black characters clearly entered everyone's eyes.

  "Prosperous mountains and rivers!"

  Mo Yan gazed at the few words written by Feng Wei Xue, with a clear and elegant style, each stroke like iron painting silver hook, dragon flying phoenix dancing, full of bold and domineering spirit.

  A woman's handwriting can be so bold and intimidating that it takes everyone's breath away.

  "Good writing!"

  Zi Ling's eyes brightened a few shades as she gazed at the majestic characters "Sheng Shi Jiang Shan", exuding an aura of grandeur and majesty that even men rarely possessed.

  "What a prosperous and peaceful world!"

  Meng Junlin gazed at the huge characters in shock and admiration, clapping his hands in amazement. In his heart, he felt an increasingly burning passion! Towards this talented and beautiful woman, he had a strong impulse that he couldn't do without her!

  Feng Mei Xue turned her head to look at the words written by Zi Ling Xuan, the beautiful handwriting, with a gentle warmth like a soft breeze, spread out on the paper.

  "Serene and far-reaching!"

  Very simple words, very warm feeling, it's amazing that just by looking at her handwriting, one can feel a sense of serenity.

  One person's handwriting is bold and domineering, another person's handwriting is elegant and beautiful, making it difficult for people to decide who is better at the moment!

  Two women with unique charm saw each other's words, the corners of their mouths curled up, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years, exchanging a tacit smile.
